DAWID PODSIADŁO - "ANNOYANCE AND DISAPPOINTMENT" (2015)

Dawid Podsiadło won the Polish edition of X-Factor in 2012. While in the rest of the world every singer who has come out of x factor has become a money-making machine with no artistic value whatsoever, Podsiadło has managed to actually make some great music, with the help of ambitious producer Bogdan Kondracki. His debut, titled "Comfort and Happiness", has sold around 200.000 copies in Poland, which in these days marks a record. Even if I like it, I find it a bit monotonous in his slower parts. On the other hand, this new chart topping album seems to be good from start to finish, a majestic anthology of indie-pop tracks with the widest range of instruments (electric organ, analogue synths, acoustic instruments, jazz guitars, and sporadic fuzz effects).“W dobrą stronę”, “Son of Analog”, “Byrd”, and “Block” are among the best songs of 2015.P.S. Kudos to bass player Wojciech Król and his amazing lines.
